UPDATE

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and positive thoughts.

So I'm definitely jaundiced but it's not any of the heps. She doesn't know what's causing it and has me checking into the hospital at 10 today for tests. Her initial feelings are that I'll be there for a few days and maybe up to a week but with Irene due to hit on Sunday, I'll probably leave on Sat the latest.


The hospital has good wifi and even better food but crapy tv. Good thing I have my kindle.


I'll keep you posted if possible but at this point nothing is fatal so I'm going to be around for a while - no worries.

JUST CALL ME MELLOW YELLOW



I could have also titled this post:
  • Don't It Make My Blue Eyes Green
  • I Think I'm Turning Japanese
  • He's Got Increasingly Yellow Eyes
I woke up Sunday with yellow eyes and have gotten progressively yellow everywhere else to match. I know there are several reasons this could be happening but couldn't get to see my doctor until 5pm tonight. Keep your fingers crossed it's nothing serious. I'll update when I know more.

This probably explains my lack of energy and overall feeling like crap the last 2-3 weeks and why I haven't been commenting as much as I usually do. I barely have/had enough mental energy to read your blogs let alone comment on them.

A DOGABLY PAWFECT SATURDAY #16: PUPPY MILLS


Kyle over at Out Left posted this link to The Huffington Post's article about the evils of puppy mills. I knew most of this but was still taken back by some of what I read. After reading it we definitely need some cute doggies with sexy shirtless men.


As you admire the adorable puppies in the window of your local pet store, do you ever wonder where they come from? If you have no idea, you are not alone.

According to a recently released survey conducted by Lake Research Partners on behalf of the ASPCA, more than three-fourths of all adults nationwide do not know where the puppies in pet stores come from. Nearly a quarter (23 percent) of those surveyed believe pet store puppies come from breeders; 6 percent guess private pet owners; 11 percent say shelters or rescue organizations, and 35 percent have no idea.
Most adults surveyed said they would not buy a puppy from a pet store if they knew the truth -- almost all puppies sold in pet stores (and over the Internet) come from puppy mills. Puppy mills are large-scale commercial breeding operations where the breeding dogs live in filthy, overcrowded, wire-bottom cages stacked on top of each other. They are often crammed in dark, poorly ventilated sheds where they are exposed to sweltering temperatures in the summer and below-freezing temperatures in the winter. In order to maximize profits, female dogs are bred at every opportunity with little to no recovery time between litters. Sometimes these helpless dogs are even too sick to move.

SHERFFIUS SUNDAY & FRIENDS.











With that smile and those nips (hmmm those nips), this
week's palate cleanser has scrubbed me clean.

A DOGABLY PAWFECT SATURDAY #15

It's been a while since Truvy and Tramp made an appearance but it's not because
they're shy (which they can be) but because we need a new camera. 

Don't forget to say hello to Rick from It's a Ruff Ruff World,  to Peter at Tippin' the Scales, to David at Alokoli and to Jon at DeepBlue, and join in all the doggy fun.
